[QUOTE="etisll40, post: 821867, member: 15229"] When the 300 rum came out Remington loaded it in 3 different power levels, my understanding is that at lower power levels the barrel lasts longer? Is this true, it's just what I read? Unless of course it was run at max all the time. I don't think the average hunter is going to need RUM max power all that often. Most people have several rifles and practice with something cheaper and easier on the budget and shoulder. It seems foolish to have only 1 rifle anyway. You can easily practice long range with a 260, then pull the 300 rum out when your shooting proficiency improves. That's what I'd do if I was limited to 2 rifles. If 1, then 300wm or 300rum'l do. just my opinion, I'm no expert at this. [/QUOTE]
